Ahead of the Baggies Game

Now the international interlude is over it's back to the real football. It's not that I mind internationals it's just having them interupt the flow of the league season. Also the fickleness of the press and the England fans to their team - you have to sing when you're not winning. Don't think you should boo your team if they play badly or any of the players if they make a mistake. Then a couple of good results makes you think you're good enough to get to a World Cup final.

So the Baggies come to Old Trafford for a 1730h kick off. All the money is on a United win, and with a three goal margin. Personally I think it will be a lot closer than that. As long as it's a win for United and I see a good passing game I'll come home happy. Prediction 2-0.

It being such a late kick-off I might manage to see a local amateur game before hand. All subject to the weather. There is a little football ground half a mile from home, and in all my years in Chorlton I have never been to it. It used to be a cricket ground so I have an excuse for most of those years.
